DDweatherman Posted February 13, 2024 Author Share Posted February 13, 2024 I think snow growth was actually decent and that’s how I stacked up so quickly. Temps dropped to 31.5 during snow and 850 obs were well below 0, so after the initial 30 mins of meteors, flakes were a bit more efficient.

Everyone likes to dump on the HRRR, but it was insistent on several hours of maximizing lift in the DGZ and it's been largely correct on surface temps. It was just 20 to 30 miles too far south with the big band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to finish at nearly 7” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

understudyhero Posted February 13, 2024 Share Posted February 13, 2024 The snow build up on my ev from haymarket to Reston was amazing. I got a “forward collision camera blocked” and when I got here there was a good 1/4” or more caked across the whole front of the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EHoffman Posted February 13, 2024 Share Posted February 13, 2024 This storm is certainly a screamer. One of the fastest backedge approaches I can remember right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted February 13, 2024 Share Posted February 13, 2024 The temp drop here seems to have slowed/stopped right around 33ish degrees. Very pretty out watching this band come down though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpeast Posted February 13, 2024 Share Posted February 13, 2024 Light snow now, and I can see it already melting. Given what’s fallen, I think 0.7” is a fair estimate. Snow depth 0.5”. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re getting kinda of old, but can still shred with the best of them. Don’t know if they can keep this up every winter, but I’ll buy a ticket every time they come to town. ETA: Just hit the stage.

osfan24 Posted February 13, 2024 Share Posted February 13, 2024 Best rates of the day by far. Probably coming down an inch an hour right now. Decent flakes, too. Where was this all morning? Starting to see sidewalks and streets getting slushy and trying to cave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
understudyhero Posted February 13, 2024 Share Posted February 13, 2024 Even my phone was saying rain as the snow ripped overhead. this may not be 2014 (10 years not 6) but this forum truly didn’t give up on this. This was a win because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
